A mother has taken to TikTok to document her newborn daughter – after her hair started sticking in all directions.
Aliyah Lewis, from Barry Island, Wales, gave birth to baby Arla 10 weeks ago.
But she was stunned when – after Arla’s first bath – her hair continued to grow out and won’t stop.
She now has 22,000 fans online and says many followers wondered if she has uncontrollable hair syndrome or a cow protein allergy.

The baby has reddish mousy hair that sticks up in all directions and refuses to lie flat – even if her mother puts a hat on her
The fluffy hair, which has become a hit on TikTok, looks more like a baby chick — than a baby human
Speaking of her daughter’s hair, the new mom said, “It just won’t stay put at all.
“I’ve tried to brush it and nothing happens.
“When it’s wet it goes down and two minutes after the bath it goes right back up.
“She can wear a hat for 30 minutes, you take it off and in a few minutes it’s back on.”
While Arla’s “soft and fluffy” hair is the talk of her parents, friends and family as well as strangers are fans too.
Aliyah added: “Random people have stopped me when I’m out and about and commented on her hair.
“Everyone in the family thinks it’s crazy.”
Whatever the day, whatever the weather, whatever she’s wearing, baby Arla’s hair always stays straight up
Baby Arla is regularly peeped by people on the street, who want to know why she has such big hair

TikTok fans went wild for the baby’s hair – some said she looked like she’d been drinking helium
She and her partner Adam, 22, secretly hope that Arla’s hair will remain as it is for years to come.
She said, “To be honest, I kind of like it,” while Adam thinks it’s “funny” and “pretty crazy.”
And TikTok users have gone nuts for the locks — some say she looks like a lion and others say it looks like she’s inhaled helium.
But while some people have wondered if the hair condition is due to an underlying problem, Aliyah doesn’t think it is.
She said, “I don’t think it’s an uncontrollable hair syndrome, because that’s usually white, almost silvery hair, and Arla’s isn’t.
And some people on TikTok have said it could be a cow’s milk allergy, but she has no other symptoms of that allergy.
“It’s almost her own little personality, so I hope it stays that way,”
